Help me identify this programming/scripting language!
-
Hello, Inherited a bunch of code today but there seems to be some script files which define functions as follows:
function some_fun ;{{{
return, some_var
end;}}}------------------ some_fun()Here is the embarassing question...I cannot even identify this language. Google search was not much help either. So I am calling on the collective wisdom of coders worldwide to help me. Thanks, Keith

When you can not read it and have no idea what it does, it is usually written in Perl. ;) However in this case it isn't, a friend in the chat mentioned it could be Lua[^]. Hope this helps! /M

I don't know of any language that uses triple brackets like that. I have seen some websites that use triple curly braces in much the same way that CodeProject uses
<pre>and</pre>, though. Maybe you have inherited reference notes rather than actual code? -
